This film tells the story of six media activists in Syria. Amidst the chaos of the uprising they struggle to tell the story of Qusayr, their town to the outside world. They risk their lives on a daily basis coming under attack from the regular and indiscriminate heavy shelling.http://aje.me/10OU63r
 
Here are some of the main stories we'll be covering today:

- Tensions are high on the Korean peninsula, as South Korea raises its military alert level, expecting a missile test from the North. The US military says that it can intercept any missile fired by North Korea.

- The United Nations Children's fund is warning that two million children in Central African Republic (CAR) are at risk if the country does not stabilise. AJE spent the day at the country's main paediatrics hospital where doctors are grappling with acutely malnourished children.

- The death toll from an earthquake in southern Iran now stands at 37. The 6.3 magnitude quake destroyed one village, but the nearby Bushehr nuclear plant was undamaged, according to a local politician and the Russian company that built it.

- US Democrats have demanded a vote on a gun control bill and called on Republicans to stop threatening to block it, as families of the victims of last year's deadly shooting in Newtown have arrived in Washington to lobby Congress for stricter gun control measures.

We'll be bringing you more on these and other stories from around the globe throughout the day.

US Airstrikes Kills 11 Children in Afghan Border Village
Destroyed Several Houses, Killing Women and Children Within

US warplanes pounded the village of Shigal in the Kunar Province of Afghanistan today, destroying several houses in the course of a "support" operation that NATO officials bragged led to the deaths of two "senior Taliban leaders." The village was just miles from the Pakistan border.

"We must stop this incessant victimhood mentality. Somebody else will not fix things. Somebody else will not make me healthy; somebody else will not make me happy. These things are my responsibility. Not the neighbor's, not the government's, not the church or civic club. If I don't know what to do with a beet, I need to find out. Knowing what to do with a beet begins a long chain of events that ends up creating a soil in which earthworms happily procreate. And that is a good thing."

"If you were a factory farmer who was really okay with the current state of affairs, deeply convicted that your actions are legal, however unsettling, and nevertheless necessary, you would at least try to make that argument in defense. You'd willingly let regular documentation happen. You'd say this is what we do, this is who we are, we're at ease with that."

“Perhaps in the back of our minds we already understand, without all the science I've discussed, that something terribly wrong is happening. Our sustenance now comes from misery. We know that if someone offers to show us a film on how our meat is produced, it will be a horror film. We perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark places of our memory-- disavowed. When we eat factory-farmed meat we live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own.” ~ Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals

I will just say this: Know your privacy settings. - Carolyn Silveira

DA  You might think this is a bit daft but from what I've been reading as of yesterday I stumbled upon some interesting facts regarding the likes of the Special Forces - SAS, Delta Force and Spetznas. They were actually designed, this being researched by a
 very qualified man, to perform and encourage terrorist actions within other countries to destabilise them politically and economically in order to sabotage the government and indoctrinate the populace with their own country's political beliefs, usually before an invasion. 

How the USSR manipulated Czechoslovakia and Britain did the same to Malaya - as military spies behind "enemy lines" - could clearly be what the government is worried about today (as this is the nature of modern warfare), which maybe why they're trying to take the guns away. 

People owning guns and not trusting their own government is a nightmare scenario for them as their security can never be turned away from what they secretly know is the threat and turn it on the people. Unless they have reason to believe that the people are under the influence of a secret terrorist special force that has indoctrinated them with the belief that their government is bad.

It could be possible. Sandy Hook, Aurora, Christopher Dorner, all these sightings of mystery perpetrators. Why we dont understand what happened and why the government always keeps a very uncomfortable silence goes deeper than 'false flag' I believe. It may be terrorism, yet to own up to that would mean that they would have to own up to maybe nearly seventy years of terrorist activity in every communist state since 1945.

To think that we are not only the terrorists in foreign lands now but that we have been since 1945, the beginning of the Cold War, and that we, the Russians and the US created terrorism to defeat the unstoppable German military and then continues to use it on each other; it changes things for me. It is possible that the Cold War is still in effect, maybe why North Korea is all of a sudden the newest threat.


  • John Farnham It always helps to know the name of the reference one is missing. See NATO Colour Revolutions. Plus just knowing al Qaeda is a hoax by the CIA is not the same as info knowing who has been in charge - although that is changing in response to public awareness. Check out Sibel Edmonds at her BoilingFrogsPost - she was a Turkish language FBI translater who was scandalized that US security was porous to Turkish intelligence....and fell down the rabbit hole.

  • John Farnham While I am on the topic of disinformation campaigns, the idea that people without nuclear weapons - pro disarmament activists in particular - are the 'real threat' is a psyops staple of the WMD equipped nations of the UN Security Council, 'justifying' sanctions for not being able to prove a negative according to the disclosure agreements they pioneered. Transcend has a lovely page outlining the psychology of the NPT TRAP which utterly violates the principles of the Third Pillar of the NPT. CASMII will give you an idea of the constant media war waged against Iran that was preceded by the same against Iraq. North Korea is a special case in that it did make an agreement to put away nukes - in return for services which would solve its energy requirements. The USA stopped those 10 years ago.

The number of temporary foreign workers in Canada has more than doubled since the Harper government took office. The Department of Citizenship and Immigration reports the presence of 338,000 temporary foreign workers at the end of 2012.

This temporary work force is now almost as large as New Brunswick’s entire employed labour force and far exceeds that of Newfoundland and Labrador (not to mention Prince Edward Island.) With remarkably little evidence or public consultation, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program has added the equivalent of a small province to Canada’s labour market.


Dave Johnson in today's Chimp: "In 1983 a couple of conservative 'think tanks' developed a step-by-step plan to privatize Social Security, for the benefit of 'the banking industry and other business groups.' The plan describes a strategy to convince people that Social Security is going broke and that it is a 'Ponzi scheme,' to undermine confidence in the program and lead people to accept that it needs 'reform.' The plan outlines methods to “neutralize” opposition. The plan involves a smokescreen strategy of saying things to distract people from seeing what they are doing."

Katt Williams: “We Are Against the Illuminati at Our Own Detriment”

What was supposed to be a standard movie-promoting interview got a little realer when Katt Williams was asked about the Illuminati and its influence on the entertainment industry. The interviewer originally asked Williams about Dave Chappelle’s “conspiracy theory” where he claimed that most Black comedians wear a dress at some point of their career.

Katt Williams’ response to this controversy and the Illuminati in general was quite interesting.

Far from brushing off the question for being ridiculous, Willams acknowledged in a matter-of-fact way that there’s an Illuminati controlling the entertainment industry and that it forces artists to push its Agenda. What happens to those who go against the grain? They get bad press and their careers suffer terribly.

For instance, Dave Chappelle refused a 50 million dollars contract to shoot a third season of his iconic Chappelle Show because he didn’t agree with the messages it conveyed its audience. He then got labelled as “crazy” (remember his Africa expedition) and, since then, he did not appear in anything “Hollywood”.

Katt Williams also got a truck load of bad press in the past years, not to mention legal troubles. He feels that these issues keeping arising because he refuses to follow the Illuminati Agenda. In his words: “We Are Against the Illuminati at Our Own Detriment”. Here’s the interview.

  • Previous attempts to stop aerial spraying in Canada has gone nowhere due to the fact that Government has denied such a spraying is happening..this Petition has already been approved for submission to Parliament so it is going to be heard from again..We are hoping that pressure will be placed in the right quarters.. and answers forthcoming.. if we don't try... nothing happens except the spraying will continue for sure!




Watched: Elisabeth Hoffman saw “Triple Divide”

Film Exposes Treachery of Fracking

One section of the film covers landowner Judy E., who had skin and other health problems and whose previously pristine water her farm animals suddenly refused to drink. Tests of the water showed high levels of methane, arsenic and radon. She was advised not to shower, bathe or brush her teeth with the water. Although Guardian Exploration had drilled on her neighbor’s property, DEP determined that the company wasn’t at fault because Judy E’s complaint came more than six months after the drilling ended. Guardian eventually paid to connect Judy’s home to public water, although she now has a monthly water bill that the driller refuses to pay. Troutman and Pribanic found records that DEP had initially turned down a permit to bury waste on the neighbor’s land because it was too close to the water supply, but Guardian did so anyway. Eventually DEP reversed itself and approved the waste pit. The records, though, included no mention of Judy’s complaint. As Judy says in the film, “One lies for the other.”

Doctors and experts are baffled by an Indian man who claims not to have eaten or drunk anything for 70 years – but is still in perfect health.

A team of scientists and doctors in Sterling Hospital, in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad, are studying the claims of Prahlad Jani, a local holy man, who is over 70 years old.

He claims to have been blessed by a goddess when he was 8-years-old, which has enabled him to survive without sustenance and that he derives energy through meditation.

Most people can live without food for several weeks, with the body drawing on its fat and protein stores. But the average human can survive for only three to four days without water.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is still killing dolphins, sea turtles and other marine life in record numbers. Infant dolphins are dying six times faster than they did before the 4.9 million barrels of oil got spilled in the Gulf of Mexico.



All 104 nuclear power reactors now in operation in the United States -- including the 23 operating across the South -- have a serious safety problem that can't be fixed and should be phased out, according to the nation's former top nuclear regulator.



The sentiment is good, but far too late. The manufacturers have been off shoring for so long, there are very few Canadian-made products any more.
